GENERALJAOKsON ANNIVERSARY.


The fourth annual banquet under.t the
auspices Of the Jackson Club at Column
bus, Ohio, the other evening Of the 72nd
anniversary of General Jackson's de-
feat of the British troops at, New Or
leans was an event worthy the memory
of great man. q large number of the
leading men in the Democratic party
from all parts Of the United States tes-
titled by their presence that the name
of General jackson would ever remain
green in the memories Of the represen-
tatives Of a party whose principles he
had done so much to formulate and
disseminate throughout the land. By
the Irish people Of the United States
the name Of General Jackson will ever
be held in reverence, inasmuch as he
was noble and faithful representative
Of that race, and one need only refer to
his record to become aware of the fact
that his love for England was on a par
with that existing in the bosom of
every Irishman who has spark OF love
for his native land.

TIE inaugural meeting of the Lon
don Liberal Radical Union was held at
st. James hall, London, last Tuesday
evening. The hall was crowded with
an enthusiastic audience. The organ
list attempted to play HGod Save the
Queen" when storm Of Kissing and
hooting arose, which completely
drowned the music. There were on the
platform number of members of Par
lament and other Liberals, all of
whom, with the exception of Brad
laugh, arose and joined in the cheering.
Bradlaugh's action was Endorsed with
terrific applause by the majority of the
audience. Morley made vigorous
speech, in the course of which he
praised Lord Harrington for having re-
fused to assist Lord Salisbury in saving
the political antiquities of the Carlton
club. The detection of Goschen, he
said, would not cause any great re-
frigeration in the Liberal atmosphere.
During the progress Of the meeting
every mention of Gladstone's name was
the signal for enthusiastic cheering.

AN EXCELLENT APPOINTMENT.

On Monday of this week Hon. James
j. .McCaffertY, of St. Paul. was, on mo-
ton Of George N. Baxter, United
States District Attorney, appointed by
Judge Nelson, of the United States
Circuit Court. Commissioner of the
Circuit Court of the United States for
the District of Minnesota. Mr.. Bax-
ter, in support of the motion, presented
a petition signed by Hon. G. K. Davis,
Judge Charles E. Flandreu, Gen. John
B. Sanborn, Hon. @. D. O'Brien, Hon.
E. G.. Rogers, and other prominent at
torneys of the State. The petition was
endorsed by Mr.. Baxter and by the
Assistant District Attorney, Dan. W.
Lawler. The new appointse has re-
sided at St. Paul for about four years,
and in that time has gained for himself
a foremost place in the ranks Of his
profession. In the defense of Thomas
Hanley, of st. Paul. and in the subse-
quent case of Coleman Geary, OF the
same place, both cases being under in
dictments for murder, Mr.. McCatferty
conducted himself with such skill and
manifested such knowledge OF GRIM
inal law that since the trials men
toned he has been regarded as one Of
the most brilliant legal practitioners at
the Ramsey County Bar. On Wednes-
day Of che present week, Judge Nc
Cafferty took the oath of office and was
formally installed.
During the recent campaign it will
be remembered by many of our readers
Mr.. McCatferty took the stump for the
Democratic State ticket. His elo
quence and forcible arguments made
him very conspicuous figure, and he
is most emphatically entitled to much
of the credit due the men who SO nearly
succeeded III completely overthrowing
the Republican party in this State.
We extend to Mr.. McCaferty and the
people interested in the appointment
our heartiest and most sincere con-
gratuIations.

THE NEW BRITISH CABINET /.

After q great deal OF unnecessary
mystery the new British Cabinet has
been announced. Lord Salisbury is
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
Hon. w. II. Smith, First Lord of the
Treasury Hon. g. J. Goschen. Chan
cellor Of the ExcheQuer Hon. Edward
Stanhope, Secretary of State for War,
and Sir Henry Holland, Secretary of
State for the Colonies. The other Cabi-
net Offices will remain for the present
The same. 1t is known that disunion
prevails in every department of the
Government in which changes have
occurred. a great many Of the Tory
members may be very good Tories as
long as there are prospects of being
benefited thereby, but when they
see the positions which they ex-
pected themselves handed over Liber-
ais, it is not to be supposed that they
will long remain loyal to their leader.
It is not in human nature to do 50.
Herein lies Mr.. Gladstone's hope of fu-
ture. we might say immediate success:
No one knows better than Britain's
first statesman that the quarrelling
and bickerlng occurring hourly in the
Tory ranks caused by sel6shness and
jealousy, will bring about the down
fall of the Salisbury Government before
many moons hava shed their dim light
upon this sublunary sphere. This,
combined with the supreme efforts that
are being made tc bring the members
of the old Liberal party together, and
with flattering prospects of success,
Justly occasions Mr.. Gladstone much
joy. The uncompromising attitude he
has maintained throughout the crisis
has shown the dissidents that he does
not propose to deal with Ireland by
half-measures, and many of them have
insinuated that they mean to return to
the fold. This will solidify the Liberal
party, for every one of the dissidents
know now what to expect if they con-
clude to follow their old leader.
The weakness Of the Tory admins
tration and the material out of which
the new Cabinet has been formed
has caused great rejoicing amongst the
Nationalists. 1t is generally felt that
the solution Of the Irish problem is
I near at hand, and certainly the outlook
/ is very promising.

The following from the Boston Pilot
gives is an interesting accountof the ORR
gin OF famous song: 1t was a young
Irish actor, Harry Mccarthy, who
wrote the stirring Southern song, s'The
Bonnie Blue Flag" by far the most
spirited popular lyric produced on that
side during the "unpleasantness'' He
composed it at the suggestion of Judge
Wiley E. Harris, on the day that the
Legislature OF Mississippi passed the
secession ordinance, and sang it that
night at Angeles Hall, in Jackson,
Miss, amid wild enthusiasm. Consid-
ering that it was written in three hours
and without premeditation, it was a
pretty creditable effort and answered
its purpose of firing the Southern heart
with its catching strain and simple
chorus of
81 Hurral! hurrah!
For Southern rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears
the single STAR
The single star, always dear to the
Southern heart since the glorious days
of the lone star of Texas, soon grew to
be eleven, and the Bonnie Blue Flag
was replaced by variation on the Flag
of the Union; but the song of Harry
Mccarthy remained a favorite with the
men in gray until there was no longer
flag for them to follow.

The marriage of the Secretary of tn

The marriage of the Secretary Of the
Interior. which was celebrated one day
last week at Macon, Ga, is the happy
elimination of a life romance, which,
if it could be told, would be found full
of touching incident and melancholy
interest Happily all is well that ends
well. The final union of two noble ma
lures long sundered by fate, must al
ways excite a kind of personal satisfac
tion in good men and women. Mr..
and Mrs. Lamar were betrothed in
their youth. Separated then, they have
maintained an honorable affection for
one another through the intervening
years, and are blessed at last, as only
thepure in heart can be blessed, in the
triumph Of love over destiny itself.
May their lives be spared to enjoy a
5honeymoon which shall end only with
life itself.

MICHAEL DAv1Tr and wife reached
Chicago last Monday from the Pacific
coast on their way to Ireland, They
were guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander
Sullivan. The bride is a pretty blonde,
of medium stature and regular features,
indicative Of firm and refined character.
It is understood that, although Mr..
Davitt was not aware of it, she is the
heiress of a large fortune. At dinner
at Mr.. Sullivan's last Monday evening,
Archbishop Feehan paid Mr.. Davitt a
high tribute. Speeches were also made
by Judge Anthony, of the Superior
Court, Judge Bradwell, Rev. Maurice

ture of the menu was ssHome Rule

the ice cream was an orange and green.
The affair was elegant and delightful.

1Ha London Times of Tuesday

THa London Times of Tuesday
morning has the following edi-
torial comment on the British po-
litical situation: "The Cabinet is
threatened from within, not from
without. What is seriously to be feared
is the failure Of the Irish executive to
grapple with the conspiracy to prevent
the payment Of rent. 1t is only too
clear from the evidence given at the
trial Of the Woodford tenants, at Dub
lin, that the vigorous enforcement Of
the law is discouraged by the govern
ment, who cannot surely desire the
landlords to provide an armed force on
their own behalf. Yet, if the execu-
tive draw back, what choice is there be-
tween this dangerous approach of civil
war and complete victory for the Irish
National League"

A-RECENT cablegram announces that
Mr.. Parnell has at his disposal five va.
can't seats in the British House of Com

Sir John Pope Hennessy, who has been

seat in Longford. Hennessy, who is
the Phineas Phinn and the Phineas

tionally able man. His rapid promo
tion in the British public service was
due to Beasonsfield's recognition of his
abilities. He used to be the Catholic

MAKING AND SAVING MANURE.

Unless some attention is paid to it
in the fall, there will be much less ma
nure in the spring than there might
be, and at best on most farms there is
not enough: The systematic saving of
n through the winter, even from
help. At this season, if the cattle are
not all housed, let them at night be
placed in some lot that is to be plowed
in the spring, or better yet, late in the
fall. If during the summer when the
COWS are yarded the droppings are col
lected each morning and placed in a
yard where a pig is kept and a proper
amount Of swamp mud q prefer this
where the manure is to be used on
gravelly land) or good soil mixed with
it, the strength is much better kept
than when left las the manure is by
many farmers) exposed to sun and
rain, supposing that the value is all
going to be taken up by few loads Of
dirt. For the farmer who has woods
and is back from the sea, leaves make
a valuable addition in such yards.
From one horse stable on the ground
the past year [ have made thirteen
loads of valuable manure, using a small
amount of dry mud and plaster as an.
absorbent and deodorizer. The plaster
takes up the large amount of ammonia
lost in many stables, and used in that
way more than pays it's cost and the
trouble of applying it. If farmers
fatten two or three hogs each year and
in the spring have no returns in the
shape Of manure, they cannot complain
if the crops show the want of fertilizers
and dame nature sends them back small
returns. It is as much true economy
to save something to grow the crops as
to save the money they bring, for it is
only by the judicious use of either that
good results are obtained.-W. T. c.,
